TIME FLIES!!!

Wow! It's already the end of September. So sorry I haven't posted in a while. I promise to be better about it. :) You are welcome to check my class facebook page (search for VanderHoek's Class) or email me (kvanderhoek@coopersville.k12.mi.us) at any time to receive up to the date information.

All written assignments may be submitted electronically! =) Email or facebook message them to me by the due date. I will not print off electronic assignments unless you ask me to do so. Also, if you bring a flash drive to school with homework on it, please do your printing in the media center. I cannot have a line-up of students who need to use my computer to print at the beginning of class. Thanks for your understanding.

Another reminder...MID MARK GRADES will be reported on October 3. You will only receive a progress report if you have any grades below a C-. Be sure to check the portal if you do not receive a report to see how you are doing! :)

VOCAB TESTS for our list 3/4 is on Wednesday (blocks 3, 7) or Thursday (blocks 1, 5, 6, 8) this week. Our next test (over list 5/7) will be 10/6 (blocks 3, 7) or 10/7 (blocks 1, 5, 6, 8).

HOMECOMING is October 14/15. We will do hallway decorating on 10/14 after school until 6pm and Saturday morning 9-noon.

Here we go!

Well, we are off and running! Am I the only person who feels like we never left school last spring? It's always that way for me. Once I get back in the routine, it's like riding a bike....

Everyone has gotten off to a great start and I am enjoying getting to know everyone. Bear with me while I continue to match names to faces! :)

This week, we completed our first vocab lesson (1/2) and will have the test next week (Tuesday for blocks 3 & 7 and Wednesday for everyone else). We will also begin the first SMB chapter, "Back Where I Come From" before the weekend. This chapter will be due the end of next week (Sept. 23). Remember all essays must be submitted in MLA format.

Have a great rest of the week!
